Figured the double Grand eruption interval would put the eruption well into the morning, so didn't head out early. A report of Grand not overflowing with a Turban eruption helped narrow down the time, too.
After 45 minutes, we got a long Turban Delay interval, which fixed the prediction quite a bit. The One Burst Grand eruption was four Turban eruption intervals later. The duration was a disappointing 9-1/3 minutes, with Grand making no attempt at a second burst.

Afterwards it was pointed out that an Artemisia eruption hadn't been seen since yesterday. It being a nice warm day with only a slight breeze, I decided that here was the opportunity to make a video of an eruption. Only had to wait about 1-1/2 hours, and suddenly heard and felt some thumps. The wind was away for most of the eruption, so had an excellent view.
Then on the way back, just as I approached the Lodge, came the call that Beehive's Indicator was starting. So went on over for that eruption. The wind was still a bit variable, and I had to get out the umbrella even though I thought I was in the safe zone at the eruption start.
Finally got a late evening eruption of Grand. No Turban Delay intervals, and the interval was only about 7-1/2 hours. The One Burst Grand eruption lasted just over ten minutes, and once again, there was no attempt at a second burst.

While leaving, noticed that Spasmodic was just starting overflow. Uncertain wasn't making much noise, but Sawmill was high. A few minutes later Sawmill started. Penta, meanwhile, was showing water splashing in the Top and Bottom Vents. This activity continued for about 1/2 hour, during which time Spasmodic dropped below overflow. Penta was still splashing around as I left.
Coming back from dinner in the Bear Pit, I was riding my bike when I encountered an animal just after I entered the cabin area. At first I thought it was a small coyote, but when I shined a light on it, it turned out to be a large fox. I ran past me and disappeared between some of the cabins nearer the Lodge. Now, if only it would harvest a few of the squirrels that insist upon coming in the cabin when the door is open.
